Hey @gautamz07 thanks for asking! We need help all the time especially answering questions in the issues.

Every hexo repo should have npm test command. That's the best way to see if it works!

Please join the chat if you can: https://gitter.im/hexojs/hexo

Would it be possible to see if you can successfully solve some issues on here? If so that would be awesome!

@gautamz07 Did you find anything interesting to work on?

It would be neat if we had a script to go look through our plugins and themes for 404 pages. https://github.com/hexojs/site/blob/master/source/_data/plugins.yml https://github.com/hexojs/site/blob/master/source/_data/themes.yml

Another good idea would be a script which gets the created date of the repo and the last commit date and adds it into those YML files.

This would allow us to have a lot higher quality database of the ecosystem.

Would anything like that interest you?

how exactly do you guys debug your node code ? using vscode node debugger ? Every hexo repo should have npm test command. That's the best way to see if it works!

Indeed, unit testing is a very important way to keep code quality: https://github.com/hexojs/hexo/issues/3984 See also https://github.com/hexojs/hexo/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md
